How do I build a wooden rabbit cage?
I have looked all over in stors and it is way to much money to buy a cage so i just need to make one myself. my bunny has grown so she NEEDS a new cage.
~thanks~
I think it would be a lot easier and cheaper to make a “C&C” cage. These originally became popular for guinea pigs, but if you are inovative enough, you can easily construct one to suit a rabbit. They involve cubed shelves, for the most part, and anything at all for the bases and levels, including coroplast, or carpeting.
Here’s the original site for guinea pig cages :http://www.guineapigcages.com/
Here’s a page specifically discussing c&c cages for rabbits (scroll a bit): http://www.guineapigcages.com/rabbits.htm
By the way, it is actually dangerous to use mesh as the floor base for rabbit cages. The floor needs to be completely solid. Mesh may be a lot easier to clean up, but it creates foot problems. You can litter train the rabbit instead, while still using a proper floor.
